I adore using crates when I decorate a room. (Want a crate for yourself? Scroll to the bottom of the post for my source!) You can really do anything with them. Here I’ve filled them with a few of my vintage seltzer bottles, some inherited movie reels, and blue Mason jars filled with vintage sewing […]
Floral Frog from Scotch Tape
I love a floral frog. I mean it holds the flowers in place so they don’t droop or fall out of the vase or planter. The problem was I has camillas cut from my yard, and they have very very short stems. And I was hosting a luncheon and wanted an arrangement with the camillas in an inherited pink […]
Pretty in Pink
I admit it, I love pink, but with a husband weary of a house full of estrogen (We have 2 girls.) I do try to reign it in – MOST of the time. But today we’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day, so Mr. CH, today might be a good day for you to take off, […]

This is a difficult space to work with, since most artwork isn’t wide enough to look good above a bed. I found exactly […]
Vintage Bedding Details
Ever since I found my antique French linen bed spread for my room, I have been looking for more wonderful vintage bedding for my house.
